Check out the rest of the higlights from 2011 Fall NYC Fashion Week shows we attended:
Stephen Burrows show was something else, though I wasn’t obessed with fashion in the 90′s, one of the attendees next to us told us after the show that it reminded her for the 90′s fashion shows when models had attitude and were alive on the runway. Besides the captivating models, the collection itself was vibrant and beautiful, there was so much soul in each outfit.

Check out the rest of the higlights from 2011 Fall NYC Fashion Week shows we attended:
Malan Breton’s Fall 2011 Collection was inpired by Japanese culture. Woman wore geisha-style low-back necklines, duck feather skirts and lace fabric. Men also were sild wool suits and knit sweaters. The colors in this collection gorgoeus ruby reds and Breton blues. Besides the collections itself the show was also very entertaining to watch. 
If you’ve read our previous post, then you know that we have decided to attend some shows this year for Fall Fashion Week and really get into the spirit of Fashion!! Our first show that we attend was the LUCA LUCA Show. Raul Melgoza collection was inspired by women traveling in the woods, what would a woman wear? The collection captured that theme exactly. And even if I didnt’ have a chance to travel in the woods, I would wear these pieces anywhere. From the beautiful pencil skirts and brilliant colors, LUCA LUCA’s show was a breath-taking. Even in these photos I still get goose bumps.

As you may know New York Fashion Week Fall 2011 has officially started as of Thursday. And this year we decided to go about it a little differently by actually attending the shows in NYC, so check out which shows we attended next week with highlights from each show. But today, I just wanted to share with you one of the future greatest designers of our time Christian Siriano. Yes the same Christian Siriano from the winner of project runway, the same Christian Siriano who shops at M&J almost every other week. Well we all love him here and this collection is just beautiful, so beautiful that photos wouldn’t do the amazingly tailored pieces justice. So enjoy the show.

Milan had an amazing fashion week. Designers combined bright colors by layering in unrelated haphazard mixes. Floral prints were very popular for the spring season in Milan, as well as long flowy floral dresses for the spring breeze. Designers such as Just Cavalli and Marni showed amazing trims embellishments using sequins and palliates. Just as in London fringe is also popular in Milan fashion week.

This has been a short summer, and before we even realize it, we’ll be wearing our fall jackets. Although some of us may not look forward to fall, accessorizing our outfits this coming season will be a lot of fun. Some designers added accessories full of details and embellishments to their collections. There are so many to choose from. However, I narrowed fall ’09 accessories in four trends: Crystals, Ruffles, Zippers and Studs.
Zippers are coming big in a new and interesting way. We’ve also seen a lot of crystals and jewels used in many ways the last couple of years. For this fall we can see them not only as an accent, but also as the whole body of a shoe or a bag, or mixed with studs and other materials. Some examples are the Valentino Kaleido Vertical Tote, or the Christian Louboutin’s Swarovski crystal round-toe wedge.
We saw some ruffles in the Spring ’09 collections, and the trend continues this fall, as it is in the case of Dolce & Gabbana and Bruno Frisoni Shoes.
And lastly, the one that might be the biggest trend for the fall, and as Dara mentioned in her previous post, Studs and Nailheads are everywhere. Shoes, Bags, Gloves and in anything you want. There are so many designs and patterns you can get and the best part is that you can also have fun by embellishing the accessories you already own and get the look of the hottest accessories of this fall.
